Rachel Brosnahan, “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” — Personally, I wasn’t completely satisfied with Midge Maisel’s morphing from housewife to standup comic, however what do I do know? Everybody loves this present. And perennial winner Julia Louis-Dreyfus isn’t eligible this yr — time for some new blood.

Allison Janney, “Mother”

Issa Rae, “Insecure”

Tracee Ellis Ross, “Black-ish”

Lily Tomlin, “Grace and Frankie”

Excellent lead actress, drama

Claire Foy, “The Crown”

Tatiana Maslany “Orphan Black”

Elisabeth Moss, “The Handmaid’s Story”

Sandra Oh, “Killing Eve” — I’m selecting Oh to win, since everybody fell over themselves to reward her, however I believe her co-star Jodie Comer (stone-cold killer Villanelle) was the a lot stronger character — and, of the 2, was the extra deserving of a nomination for her nuanced efficiency.

Usually this class doesn’t elicit a lot consideration. This yr, although, it consists of two nominees everyone seems to be pulling for: Kenan Thompson, the longest-tenured forged member of “Saturday Night time Stay,” and Henry Winkler, whose Hollywood appearing coach Gene Cousineau on “Barry” was at turns pretentious, self-deprecating, humorous and touching. I name it for Winkler.
